By Susan Edeh<\/p>\n

BAUCHI\u2014 Tragedy struck yesterday as thunderstorms swept through Gombe, Yobe and Bauchi states killing 19 persons. Among the dead were eight men, six women and five children<\/p>\n

The thunderstorm in Bauchi occurred in Soro, a village in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state which killed two women and their children.<\/p>\n

According to the husband of the deceased, Mallam Sai\u2019du Bello, his two wives were grinding corns with their babies strapped to their backs when thunder struck killing them instantly.<\/p>\n

Area Development Officer of Ganjuwa East, Alhaji Mohammed Dabo, who confirmed the incident, said: \u201cWhen we heard about the tragic incident, we visited the house of the deceased and commiserated with the family because the man has two wives who lost their lives as a result of the thunder. We have written a letter to the Ganjuwa Local Government Council and the state government for immediate attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also in Bauchi, thunder also killed nine cows owned by one Hardo Mohammed Musa of Dungulbi village in Bauchi Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

Narrating his ordeal, Muhammadu said he sent his boys to take the animals for grazing but unfortunately they ran back home to inform him about the incident.<\/p>\n

Nigeria is experiencing its annual rainy season, with storms sweeping through parts of the country. The rains accompanying the storms are already causing flood with many getting drowned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
